Mesut Ozil looks “ready to commit” to a new Arsenal contract

Mesut Özil to sign new Arsenal contract? Arsène Wenger sees German playmaker 'ready to commit'. The World Cup winner is yet to extend his Gunners stay past the end of the summer, but his manager is cautiously optimistic that a deal will be done.

Arsenal have already seen Alexis Sanchez head through the exits after failing to resolve his future, and the Premier League heavyweights are eager to avoid a repeat with another key figure.

Wenger believes a compromise will be reached with Özil, with the 29-year-old playmaker having offered o indication that he is looking to move on. Asked for an update on talks at a press conference on Friday, the French coach said: "Our intention is to keep Özil at the club. Hopefully, we will manage to do so very soon."
